Our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 concludes with a look at Fantasy Premier League forwards.

Using data that can be found in the Fantasy Football Scout Members’ Area, we have assessed which options are the most likely to find the back of the net, offer assists, or provide a combination of both.

Members can read on and take in our analysis, but those without membership can still enjoy Tuesday’s article on goalkeepers for free.

    I can’t help thinking that all of this speculation about Mané will prove to be complete rubbish and he’ll play (and haul).

        I would still select Mané. He might’ve missed training yesterday as a precaution and he’ll train with the group today. Klopp needs to play his best team as they’re challenging for the title.

        But at that stage of the season it didn’t matter. They’re 1 point behind City and have a chance to go top this weekend which applies pressure on City. Mane will play it fit IMO.

            Ultimately nobody knows the answer. I just think that on the basis of some training ground pics, the usual chaos has been created and now everyone is convinced he won’t play. Group think at its worst.

    Fabianski
    Robertson TAA Luiz
    Salah HAzard Anderson
    Wilson Barnes

    Patricio Pogba Jiminez Doherty Hojberg AWB

    1FT, 5.3 in the bank. Only considering selling Hojberg and AWB (though I did get him at 4.0) as don't want to lose the value in the others.

    A) Hojberg to Maddison
    B) Hojberg to Fraser
    C) AWB to Rice
    D) AWB to Azpilicueta

    I'm tempted to to both A and C for a -4, as it means I would have 11 players with confirmed fixtures in GW33. What do you think is best?

    Have no WC and using TC on Salah this week.

    With that in mind is the Wilson transfer a risky move and a waste of 4 points also risking Richarlison will sit on my bench with points or sensible move especially with Wilson's upcoming fixtures and no blanks?

    Salah - Mané - Hazard - Fraser (Tielemans)
    Vardy - Higuain - Wilson

    Am i gtg or:

    Due to the uncertainty of Mané and Higuan I am considering swapping Higuain and Mané for Firmino and Pedro. I would be able to upgrade my bench to include some stronger backups.
    What do you guys think, should I stick with Mané and Higuain and fully focus on the starting 11 or have a stronger bench in case they dont play?

      Yea if I was free hitting this week I’d consider Firmino as a top differential. Seems to score a few more away generally I think. Pedro was also someone I was looking at. I think your defence should all play so upgrading bench shouldn’t be a worry.
